Give us a post game report, WCNHD. Apparently he has become primarily a first baseman and is back on the Orioles "move-up" radar, although the parent team is better this year than usual. Brandon deserves a shot for some organization.

So...looks like I'll be watching him play on Memorial Day. The Norfolk Tides play at Pawtucket (R.I.) that afternoon to face their Red Sox AAA rival. Always wanted to see McCoy Stadium. It's about a 2 hour drive via interstate.

Talked to Brandon after his game tonight. He had a great game at the plate and on the field. He made a couple of nice plays from third and of course he hit a bomb. He is probably the best position player on the Tides roster right now. He is glad to be out of Bowie, doesn't want to go back there again. I wished him the best on trying to find a place to stay and look forward to talking to him some more during hopefully his short stay in Norfolk.

Nice conversation with BW before the game.He was in great spirits. Said the AAA opportunity was good; but, the Tides (AAA) just had too many players and he was not getting the reps. Was brought back to Bowie to continue his solid hitting and fielding. Looking forward to another shot at Norfolk; but, I told him better yet - in Baltimore.Played 1B today and made an outstanding diving catch in the 8th inning to keep NH from taking the lead. He had a sac fly, and struck out 2x - the last one was a very questionable pitch. Bowie swept the Fishercats..now I can cheer for the locals again.

Interesting that BW is playing 3B with Norfolk vs. 1B with Bowie. If he continues to hit steadily, he provides the O's brass a weapon who can play either "hot" corner! Look forward to seeing what transpires.
